Introduction to the series
Last year McKinsey estimated that AI could deliver additional economic outputs of $13 trillion by 2030, increasing global GDP by approximately 1.2%.1 Forrester predicted that users of AI, Big Data and the Internet of Things could develop new business insights enabling them to "steal $1.2 trillion per annum from their less-informed peers" by just 2020.2 Early 2019 commentary echoes these predictions and continues to forecast exponential AI-powered global economic growth and disruption.
Technology is no longer a back-office support function – it is a strategic Boardroom level matter relevant to every organisation across every industry. However, in 2018 New Zealand's AI Forum found that only 36% of New Zealand companies surveyed were discussing AI at a Boardroom level.3
